Ridge Holland undergoes neck surgery
Luke Menzies, the former Ridge Holland in WWE, provided an injury update on Instagram on Tuesday.
Holland revealed that he’s undergone disc replacement surgery as a result of two herniated discs in his neck. He says the surgery was deemed to be “very successful.”
The caption of Holland’s Instagram post reads:
“After experiencing pain and lack of mobility due to pain in my neck, I consulted with doctors and had tests taken that determined that I had two collapsed discs in my neck resulting in nerve impingment. Yesterday I underwent disc replacement surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan with Dr Sheeraz Qureshi. The surgery was deemed to be very successful. 🙏🏻🙌🏻💪🏻 And I got a room with a view!”
Holland included a video of him showing off the view from his hospital room.
WWE released Holland from his contract just weeks before it was set to expire this month after Holland posted to social media that he felt “hung out to dry” by the company due to them not renewing his contract while he was injured. Holland sustained a Lisfranc injury while wrestling Moose at a TNA TV taping in Edmonton on September 27.
